By Jordan Schmidt


Moles are known to be very harmful animals. They usually attack domestic gardens or farms and destroy the crops planted on them. They make holes on the ground making the environment to look unattractive. This is what made the invention of traps to come up which solve this problem. The steps on how to set a mole trap are as follows.

The first step is to let the mole settle on the place. This is by letting them build as many mole hills as possible. It is after this that one should set the trap. This ensnare has to be set on the freshest hill. The freshest hill can be identified easily through observation. It is usually the one which enlarges daily. The tunnel needs to be found after this by the use of a cane.

After using the cane to find the tunnels, the direction of the tunnels are found by the use of a finger. Ensnares are always positioned facing the direction of the channels. The moles cannot stay at one place. They like moving around through their channels. It is due to this reason that ensnares are set in the channels. They are the perfect positions for the work to be done.

The region of the ensnare needs to be cut. When still on the process one must make sure that the cut region is not bigger than the entrap itself. The hole made has to be smaller to make it impossible for the moles sense danger and escape the traps. The people locating them have to be very careful not to make a mistake which end up not solving the problem.

The tunnels have to be cleaned after cutting the ground. The person doing the cleaning has to be extra careful not to leave the soil loose. Loose soil makes ensnares to wobble when positioned. They end up giving poor results than the expected ones. It is advisable for one to leave everything compact for good outcome to be obtained.

The setting of the traps is different. This is because other types of traps can also be used. It is the duty of the mole trapper to know the type of the trap to use. The traps have to be set on the same way as per the instructions. This is to ensure that the positioning is done with sensitivity and with a lot of ease. Once the instructions are given rules of good listener should be listened.

The last step is to cover ensnare. They should be covered as lightly as possible. A little amount can be used in the covering. This prevents the pests from noticing the trap. Coverings have to be done in such a way that the pests will get caught in them.

Many job opportunities have risen due to this problem. Mole catchers offer these services at a fee. These services are mainly hired by the financially stable people. The others can do the work on their own by following the instructions well. The steps used are always given to give guidance in this process especially the starters.
